Center for Economic and Policy Research (Opinion)

CEPR is a Washington, D.C.-based progressive economic policy think tank founded in 1999 and funded primarily by left-leaning foundations. It consistently advocates for labor protections, progressive taxation, expanded social programs, and skepticism of deregulation and austerity. Its research and commentary on the Trump administration's second term has been sharply critical, characterizing policies such as sweeping tariffs and government downsizing as risks to growth and economic stability.
